The Texas A&M Aggies have lost a good number of players to the NCAA Transfer Portal this offseason.
Fortunately for the Aggies, none of those losses were crippling, with most of the players who elected to leave College Station, outside of Conner Weigman, failing to make a major impact during their time on campus.
However, there is still a good amount of talent leaving Aggieland. And now, two of those players have found new homes.
According to reports from On3’s Pete Nakos, receiver Cyrus Allen and defensive back Donovan Saunders have both found homes with new programs
The more high profile of the two, Allen has now signed with the Cincinnati Bearcats, while Saunders has signed with the Utah Utes. Both players spent just one season in College Station after transferring in from Louisiana Tech and Cal Poly, respectively.
Allen concluded his career at Texas A&M with a modest stat line of 18 receptions, 269 yards, and one touchdown. His standout performance as an Aggie came on September 14 in a 33-20 victory over Florida, where he recorded three catches for 81 yards, including a remarkable 73-yard touchdown.
Unfortunately, Allen’s season was cut short due to a season-ending arm injury sustained during a win against New Mexico State on November 16, causing him to miss the final two games against Auburn and Texas.
Hailing from New Orleans, Allen didn’t have to venture far from the Big Easy to continue his college journey in College Station. Prior to joining the Aggies, he spent two years at LA Tech, amassing 68 receptions for 1,278 yards and eight touchdowns. Among his highlights was an impressive performance against SEC opponent Missouri in 2022, where he tallied five catches for 121 yards and two touchdowns.
Saunders, meanwhile, played in just two games with the Aggies, making two total tackles, with one each coming against New Mexico State and McNeese State. Before coming to Aggieland, Saunders had made 23 total stops, 12 pass breakup,s and four interceptions with Cal Poly.
